It was discovered early on that my heart rate is running too quickly all the time. I have seen cardio team, had tests blah blah but they are relucant to do too many more test while pregnant and my heart rate at resting is about 110-120 so not dangerously high. Had appointment yesterday and HR was racing away at 140bpm,and LO at 188 had ecg done and baby had ctg, all settled after a few hours.
Now they suggested if my HR didnt slow down they would have to consider delivery. Its all settled and im home but now thinking baout birthing (Im 37 weeks tomorrow). Have planned VBAC with my consultant, and been told will need ctg during whole labour, but given my HR has become unstable again, they are likely to want to monitor mine too. How do they do this? Is it possible (I know they do it during c sections). Im not due to see my consultant till next week, and would like to know so i can ask any questions.
Thanks
